OSHKOSH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digital CycloneSM, Inc., a subsidiary of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:
GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation, announced today that
iPhone and iPod Touch users can soon download Pilot My-Cast by Garmin,
a premier cell phone application that provides critical aviation weather
data, flight planning and flight filing services to U.S. and
Canadian-based subscribers. Pilot My-Cast is already compatible with
many popular phone models, such as BlackBerry and Windows Mobile
devices, and is available from all major wireless carriers in the U.S.
including AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Alltel, as well as Handmark®
and Handango®. This announcement was made at EAA AirVenture
in Oshkosh, Wis., July 27-August 2, 2009.

Compared to other aviation-specific cell phone applications, Pilot
My-Cast is unique because it receives aviation data directly from the
foremost providers, such as the National Weather Service, Environment
Canada, and Federal Aviation Administration. Because the data comes
directly from prominent sources, pilots can be confident that the
weather and flight planning information is up-to-date and accurate.

The core element of Pilot My-Cast is its robust aviation weather
offerings. Pilot My-Cast’s newest weather feature is a METAR and TAF
bubble map that displays current and predicted weather in a pictorial
format. This enhancement is in addition to the weather information
already available such as NEXRAD Radar, METARs and TAFs displayed in
text and graphic formats, panable weather maps, infrared and visible
satellite loops, lightning data, SIGMETs, AIRMETs, PIREPs, NOTAMs, winds
aloft and more.

In addition to seeing the weather, pilots can create routes and see the
weather in relation to their planned flight path. Pilot My-Cast also now
includes standard terminal arrival routes (STARs), standard instrument
departures (SIDs), and victor and jet airways, which are designed to aid
pilots when planning their flights.

Pilot My-Cast has also greatly expanded its airport data and it now
includes airport diagrams. These diagrams are in addition to the AOPA
Airport Directory, which pilots already have access to through Pilot
My-Cast. The AOPA Airport Directory is one of the most comprehensive
sources of airport information and includes information for over 5,300
public-use airports and more than 7,000 FBOs, such as pilot services,
ground transportation, lodging, restaurants, and local attractions.

After a Pilot My-Cast subscriber checks the weather and plans their
route, they can take the next step and file a flight plan through an
easy-to-use flight filing feature. Pilots can file their flight plan
with a few taps, and the information is automatically sent to the
DUAT(s) providers. Using Pilot My-Cast to file a flight plan is often
faster than traditional flight filing methods because it stores the most
recently filed plan, so pilots will only need to alter information that
has changed from the last time they filed.

The Pilot My-Cast application for the iPhone is expected to be available
in September. The initial download will incorporate Pilot My-Cast
features such as U.S. and Canadian weather briefings, flight filing,
AOPA Airport Directory and more. Pilot My-Cast will continue to be
available on other popular handsets, such as the BlackBerry and Windows
Mobile devices, for $9.95 per month. The majority of these handsets
support the new Pilot My-Cast features including airport diagrams,
STARs, SIDs, victor and jet airways, and METAR and TAF bubble map.
